...In Memory of my Dear Cousin...

"Life's short" is something I've always been telling people around me. Guessed a lot of people already know this. But I cannot help emphasizing much on this. I guess it really take certain event(s) to make one realize the impact of this. Well, the lost of my cousin last year really does make its impact on us... Was kinda thinking of him recently and was sad that I did not even have a chance to let him know that he was really a darn good cousin, in more than one way. That brings me to think that, one should really let the people around you know how u feel about them. Well, life's full of surprises, be it good or bad. You would not know when the chance might slip from you.

I missed the chance of meeting him and wishing him a happy chinese new year during the Chinese New Year last year. The worst thing might be the last conversation I have had with him. I was commenting to him "Gor, you are very plumb", when I actually meant to say "Gor, you are very white". Hahaha. the word "plumb" just slip out of my mouth, and I did corrected myself right after. Being the happy-go-lucky cousin, he simply laugh it off. That's how he was. Oh, at that time, he did packed on a few more extra "luggage" around his waist.

He was the one who helped me with my bike selection (and I cannnot emphasize how troublesome the process was), helped me when I have had a minor bike accident and helped me gained alot of technical knowledge of riding a bike safely. All these closeness started when we were older. I guessed we matured along the way and thus the better relationship we have had.

I used to think that he hated me alot. In fact, my crossed out faces on many family photos did lead me to think that he hated me to the core. Which I do not know the reason why. Seriously, till now, I do not know the reason why. Maybe I was pretty darn ugly as a little girl. Or that I was a darn cry baby who always get him into trouble? All these, I would not have a chance to verify anymore. It would always be anyone's guess... Or rather, it would only be my guess..

Well, to get to the point, he's no longer around. And he left behind alot of people who are still griefing and missing him. His memory will always be with us.. :)

Life's real darn short. And not forgetting the many surprises it holds...
